My blog, where I store those thoughts rattling around my brain |
|
Welcome to the insanity of my mind! Please excuse the cobwebs and clutter, I've been meaning to clean the place up a bit... Stop in and read some of my nonsense whenever the mood strikes you :) |
| I was talking to a friend yesterday and the topic of talents came up in our conversation. I remarked how some people were naturally gifted athletes, scientists, lawyers, etc. When I was questioned as to what my skill might be, I laughed and said that I was good at making pretty words. Isn't that all writing really is? Pretty words? Flowery speech? Sweet nothings? This idea filled me with some chagrin, but I found it humorous. Perhaps that's why so many people have discarded reading altogether, it's just fleeting entertainment. But then I see how movies and TV shows have filled that void and then I'm back to scratching my head again. Do you think there's any hope for wordsmiths like us, in a world that treats the idea of reading books like the mental equivalent of eating your veggies? It's a beautiful lie It's a perfect denial Such a beautiful lie to believe in So beautiful, beautiful, it makes me |
| So much to do, so little time. Do you ever wonder if successful authors were able to finish a novel because they were social recluses? Either that or they must have some godly typing skills to bust out a novel in short periods of time. It's a skill I would love to hone, in between work and family visits and friends. Sometimes I just want to lock myself in a cabin and return months later with a bushy beard and stacks of complete manuscripts. But life has a way of leading you astray. I shake my fist at you, oh forces of nature! How dare you give me rich experiences to draw from, but no chances to write them down! Perhaps this weekend I'll make some progress... (Disregard the other hundred times I've said that) Put on a show for the viewers back home Hide the truth so they'll never know You hate what you got Can't you love what you got? So smile for the cameras that keep rolling |
| It is unfortunate when your weekend is occupied by obligations, leaving little free time for hobbies! I fully intended on finishing part two of "Earthbound" but while I made a great amount of progress it wasn't enough for another installment. That's the bad news, I'm afraid. The good news, however, is that this tale might end up being much longer than I originally thought! There might be three parts to this arc, which would round off things quite nicely. Isn't it funny how stories have a mind of their own? They start off in one direction and end up somewhere you least expect. While I had the outline all mapped out, there were details and side stories that came to mind once I was in the thick of it. I hope you all had a productive weekend! I'll be updating you with more stories the moment I finish them. Whether they are worth the wait... is up to you to decide ha ha. Waste all your time with me I know I'm a mess right now Don't give up, believe I'd wait it out for you |
| There's just something about a blank page that gets me excited. Perhaps it's the countless possibilities, waiting behind a blinking cursor. My fingertips dance over the keyboard in a flurry, like a wizard waggling hands for a magic spell. No, the empty screen has never been a hurdle for me. What I struggle with is continuing an existing work! It's much easier to start from scratch... Which explains why I have so many incomplete manuscripts haha. I'm tired of looking at them so I figure I'll do something about it. Does anyone else have a similar issue? What have I to show except The promises I never kept? I lie here shaking on this bed Under the weight of my regrets |
| Do you ever have those days where nobody responds to your texts? Of course, everyone has their own thing going on. I don't fault people for being too busy to answer a single message, but you always feel slightly forsaken nonetheless. They only thing you can do? Be busy as well. I have a bad habit of fixating on things and driving myself kooky. Ever doubt your own self-worth because you've been ignored? What is my body worth? Was there a price set before? There's something greater there What is my body worth? Was there a price set before? It's not gonna change you |
| Sometimes when you don't know what to believe, the only thing you can do is believe in yourself. I see the parts but not the whole I study saints and scholars both No perfect plan unfurls Do I trust my heart or just my mind? Why is truth so hard to find In this world Yeah in this world |
| How I missed you all! It's been quite a while since I had the pleasure of sitting down and collecting my scrambled thoughts. What a year it's been. But what a huge comfort to return here and find that nothing has changed, a delightful constant in the roiling chaos of my life. After giving up on my projects, I managed to find the determination to continue where I've left off. If not now, then when? Better complete my life's work before the world ends! Carpe diem, folks. I hope you can seize those ambitions and set your hearts ablaze with passion. We are the masters of imagination, creators of dreams. No one can find the words we seek except ourselves. Keep your quills sharp and those inkpots full! So here I am it's in my hands And I'll savor every moment of this So here I am alive at last And I'll savor every moment of this |
